The NHMP (National Highways and Motorway Police) has warned drivers to steer clear of the impassable roadways and remain in the loop by the official sources. The dense mist that has enveloped a vast part of the nation is probably still going to hold back the vehicles for several more hours.
Motorists are given a reminder to exercise utmost care during driving on the free roads and in addition, they should postpone any journey until the conditions return to normal. Accidents resulting from the low visibility will be dealt with as emergency teams have been dispatched to rescue the stuck drivers and clear the road.
The weather pattern has triggered a seasonal reminder of the difficulties that affect road safety in the area.
